Arch has AUR (Arch User Repository) in addition to the standard repositories. For many of the packages yay downloads the source, builds it, and installs it like you would do manually from github. Some of the packages are available as bins, things like browsers that would take forever to build. I've seen references to brew and homebrew in apps that have installation instructions for Apple, Windows, and Linux but didn't know how it worked.
